Abstract:

Jets in photoproduction events have been studied with the ZEUS detector for γp centre-of-mass energies ranging from 130 to 250 GeV. The inclusive jet distributions give evidence for the dominance of resolved photon interactions. In the di-jet sample the direct processes are for the first time clearly isolated. Di-jet cross sections for the resolved and direct processes are given in a restricted kinematic range. © 1994.

Abstract:

This paper presents our first measurement of the F2 structure function in neutral-current, deep inelastic scattering using the ZEUS detector at HERA, the ep colliding beam facility at DESY. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 24.7 nb-1. Results are presented for data in range of Q2 from 10 GeV2 to 4700 GeV2 and Bjorken x down to 3.0 × 10-4. The F2 structure function increases rapidly as x decreases. © 1993.

Abstract:

This paper reports a search for excited electrons at the HERA electron-proton collider. In a sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 26 nb-, no evidence was found for any resonant state decaying into e-γ, νW- or e-Z0. Limits on the coupling strength of an excited electron have been determined for masses between 45 and 225 GeV. This study also reports the observation of the wide-angle eγ Compton scattering process. © 1993.

Abstract:

In deep inelastic, neutral current scattering of electrons and protons at s=296 GeV, we observe in the ZEUS detector events with a large rapidity gap in the hadronic final state. They occur in the region of small Bjorken x and are observed up to Q2 of 100 GeV2. They account for about 5% of the events with Q2≥10 GeV2. Their general properties are inconsistent with the dominant mechanism of deep inelastic scattering, where color is transferred between the scattered quark and the proton remnant, and suggest that the underlying production mechanism is the diffractive dissociation of the virtual photon. © 1993.
